Mgw 30% shifter
I just purchased the MGW 30% after talking to whom I presume was the owner. I ask him if his shifter had rattle problems and he said no. I open the package and low and behold, there is a disclaimer for rattles...saying it might rattle. I'm like...WTF ? So, I install...take it for a drive and it rattled up a storm. Any thing over 3000 rpm...you better hold on to it or you will go crazy. I am pissed at this time but decide I will just have to live with it. Then I got to listening close and it sounded like the **** (one of those Q ball type). I took it off and pumped it full of Permatex form a gasket #2.
RATTLE GONE, WASN'T THE SHIFTER AT ALL !!!!
JUst in case anybody else has the rattle, thought I would pass this on !!

Had me going for a second there too Mr. Pittman. I was like no way that thing rattles LOL! As for shiting to me that sounds like you dont have it adjusted to center properly or something. It does loosen up though aswell.

Still running stock shifter in my 01 and wouldnt take for it. Tried many shifters in my mustangs and camaros and I think the stock one for the Vette is my best one for my needs.
